Editorial note — Chapter XIII · : Government Of The Democracy In America—Part II
Henry Reeve translation
g [ The easy circumstances in which secondary functionaries are placed in the United States result also from another cause, which is independent of the general tendencies of democracy; every kind of private business is very lucrative, and the State would not be served at all if it did not pay its servants. The country is in the position of a commercial undertaking, which is obliged to sustain an expensive competition, notwithstanding its tastes for economy.]
h [ The State of Ohio, which contains a million of inhabitants, gives its Governor a salary of only $1,200 a year.]
